Indiana Township residents and property owners have an opportunity to weigh in on a proposed residential development off Saxonburg Boulevard.
Imperial-based developer Maronda Homes wants to build 32 single-family homes on a 22.47-acre property in a residential district.
The housing plan, called Frederick Farms, is expected to feature similar homes in the developer’s Hartwood Meadows plan at Westchester Drive in the township.
Options submitted to the township’s code enforcement department show homes ranging from 1,956 to 5,310 square feet with price tags ranging from about $482,000 to $726,000.
They also feature three to six bedrooms and two- to four-car garages. Lot sizes range from a little more than two-tenths of an acre to about four-tenths of an acre, according to planning documents.
A public hearing to discuss the plan is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Town Hall, 3710 Saxonburg Blvd.
Township supervisors could vote on whether to approve the preliminary plan later that evening after the hearing.
But code enforcement officer Jeff Curti said he expects the matter to be tabled to next month for further discussion.
“(After) all public input, they probably want to chew on it for a while and make a sound decision at a later date,” Curti said.
The public hearing is part of the development process outlined in the state municipal code.
A notice about the hearing was posted on the main page of the township’s website.
The township planning commission voted to recommend approval of the preliminary plans Oct. 23. The planning commission is a recommending body. The township supervisors have final say.
People can review the proposed residential development application at the code enforcement office located on the second floor of Town Hall.
Once approval is granted, the developer would submit more thorough plans and drawings for final approval and go through the review process again.
Curti said it is all part of the legal process before construction can begin.
Messages left with Maronda Homes were not returned by press time.
